"Black Bean Soup" Starsky and Hutch

"Death Notice" : "Black Bean Soup," one of Soul's songs . Only time both guys sing.
David sings with Lynne Marta.

All I want is black bean soup
And you to make it with me
Honey won't you
Be my love while love will stay
And wear your ribbons for me

Boil those black beans, honey
Mash them up real well
One big soft tomato
Just a handful of sorrel, well
Cut up your chilly pepper
Squeeze that garlic smell
One mouthful of drippings
A granddaddy onion and well, well, well

All I want...

Well I've been kicked in the head a few times
But that just made me high
I believe in the good things now
You know black bean soup don't lie, lie, lie....

Wasn't this the B side to 'Dont give up on us baby'? Sad i know.

[sorryskies]

You are right, there is a single with "Don't give up on us / Black bean soup" - 1977.

G ^_^

The singer is Davis Soul.

Thank for posting.

[elfmaiden]

Thanks :D

I thought it was cos its sounds a little like him but wasn't sure! Doesn't Paul sing this with him? I love David Soul! I have his album! Pitty more of his songs wern't released onto CD!

[sorryskies]

You are very kind. Paul sings only in Death Notice' tag.

Please --- original Paul and David fans...please post the full version of Black Bean Soup! It's an incredible sultry song, and I can't seem to get it anywhere!!!

These guys were/are incredible. Sadly the movie was an insult.

I'm dreading the remake of Magnum, without the originals. It'll be another disaster.

Thx!

David has a great voice and I think he sung in a few more episodes of Starsky & Hutch :)

Im actually trying to listen to the song so I can take down the recipe...it sounds so tasty...especially over a bed of "yellow or white rice" with a side salad and a glass of wine...

@sorryskies Hi, Im writing concerning your comment on "Starsky & Hutch" Just became a major fan of the old 70's show recently, bought all 4 Seasons on DVD, and just wanted to let you know, If you care (it's been so long) that Paul also "sang a solo" in an episode called "The Avenger" it was a really scary, and groundbreaking episode about "multiple personality disorder" so check it out.

The song he sang was absolutely beautiful (sigh)

I owned a fisher price record player made for 45s, but you could take the cover off for lp's. i got this 45 from the local library and have been trying to find it on the net ever since.

[lizaspera]

my dad wrote this song!

[NiciJD]

I've got the original single, but no idea how to post record music on line unfortunately! Just checked my CD collections, & can't believe Black Bean Soup is not on his "the best of David Soul" CD, I love that song, it's so funky!

[NationalBeanCouncil]

almost has good as "black beans forever" video

[StevenDrewF]

It's Breathe that garlic smell...not squeeze....makes more sense, doesn't it??
